Sky Go App to Launch on Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note Soon
Quote:
The rather excellent Sky Go app for on-demand telly junkies is soon to become available on the excellent Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy Nexus smartphones.
News has arrived from one of TechRadar’s top-secret sources, who confirmed that Sky has plans to expand the Android smartphones on which its app will work. Currently going through a rigorous testing procedure with the app are the phone-come-tablet Galaxy Note and the Android 4.0 launch device, the Galaxy Nexus.

Re: Sky Services Chat
I'm surprised that Sky Go isn't available already on the 2 devices mentioned.
What Android devices is it currently released on?

Re: Sky Services Chat
Anyone paying for Sky Protect, if so any good? Is it value for money? Is it worth it in the 12 months?

I don't pay it but IMO not worth it. If your stb breaks outside of warranty then you can pay £65 for an engineer visit which will include repair or replacement with a 3 month warranty.

So after 12 months if the box breaks i only need to pay £65 and if he cant repair it on site i get a new box from him? Also what happens if disk becomes faulty or goes out of alignment?

If he can't fix it then I think they give a refurb.
If your disk is the reaon they will replace the disc and you have a three month warranty for the part that is replaced.
On average, say your stb breaks every two years - it is cheaper to buy a brand new one than pay the insurance. Plus the current STBs are meant to be quite reliable anyway.

I believe so. They just send out an engineer and he will fix or replace.
Not everyone has to pay for engineer visits. If you argue hatd enough you may get a free visit.

Cheers. Paying £65 for a engineer visit doesnt seem as bad as i first thought then. I hope i dont have to pay for one for a long time and even better if never at all
